I'm sad to report that I can no longer trust this clinic. We were given a misdiagnosed, our lives were turned upside down for no reason. Our pet was sent to an expensive specialist for no reason. When it was brought to attention of management, it was clear they did not care. ​ read more

Extremely unprofessional. Our nurse openly admitted to having little to no experience and knowledge of cats, as we're sitting at an appointment about one thousand dollars deep with this place. They mixed up our cats, confused our vaccine AND SURGERY schedule with other clients, and ultimately left us and our babies more hassled. I will never be returning here. The vet industry NEEDS more regulation. This is outrageous. read more

Joan has been in the care of Dr. Angela Bryan for a little while now and Joan just recently had a cleaning that required extractions. Dr. Bryan took the time to call me and explain why the extractions were necessary and answered my deluge of questions. My pup is a little high maintenance and is very anxious but the level of patience and compassion shown to both me and Joan by Dr. Bryan and the staff is top notch. I 100% recommend this clinic, I won't be bringing my pup anywhere else. read more

Clearview Animal Hospital - Joan - Veterinarians Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

AVOID CLEARVIEW. My pup. Loosie, was a patient at Clearview her entire life. 14 years. She saved my son's life shortly after she came to live with us as a puppy. Her care was stellar when the clinic was owned by Dr. Black. He and his staff cared about all our animals, and they cared about us and how well-equipped we could be to care well for our animals. They were compassionate, supportive, and helpful. No longer true. After Clearview was sold, I only once was able to book an appointment for my pup - and then was coerced into spending significantly more money than was appropriate for that visit. My pup became seriously ill twice over the past 6 months, and the front desk would only offer an appointment 2-3 WEEKS out. Faced with difficulty eating or walking (the problems my pup was having), a people doctor would find a way to help a patient be seen and evaluated. Not Clearview. My pup died January 22 after 9 hours of seizures and convulsions. Her ashes were sent to Clearview. Clearview called today to say they were ready for pickup, and I picked up her ashes. There were 3 people at the front desk. When I said I was there to pick up my dog's ashes, all they did was verify my dog's name and my name - then handed me the ashes. Not a single word of acknowledgement or empathy on the phone or at the front desk for a pup who had been in the care of Clearview for over 14 years. Not. One. Word. read more

Clearview Animal Hospital - Loosie. She saved my son's life. 2009-2024 - Veterinarians Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

My dog "Piper" had her anal glands expressed yesterday. And was given antibiotic to give on a full stomach until gone. She has been sleeping since. I'm going to make her a dog treat to see if she will start taking these antibiotics. I need over rip bananas and mix with rolled oats. Hopefully she will start her antibiotic s. read more

Horrible experience since Dr. Black sold out to Dr. Michaelle Purdee. I didn't listen to advice to stay away and booked an appointment with Dr. Alicia Amundson. She was amazingly histrionic and rude. She clearly has not had enough clinical or life experience to make sound judgements or treatment recommendations. Not at all a good place to take your pets. Please go somewhere else. So, let me add more context. It turns out that Dr. Amundson was correct in her clinical assessment of what was wrong with my cat. What she missed was accurately communicating with me, the pet owner. When I questioned her, instead of explaining, she became defensive and morphed into some sort of authoritarian dictator creep that couldn't believe that she was being challenged. Umm, super weird. Ultimately I found Dr. Anderson at Mukilteo Vetrinary Hospital (Used to be at Clearview) and unlike Dr. Amundson, she pulled out a whiteboard, drew a picture, explained what was happening, and together we brainstormed the best treatment option for my cat. In the end it was the same recommendation as Dr. Amundson without the judgement and drama. Again, she is too young and inexperienced to handle life and your pet. Go somewhere else! read more

Change is hard and it shows in the recent reviews. Dr. Black was absolutely fantastic very old school vet with tons of history and wisdom, he will be greatly missed at the clinic, but I truly hope the best for him. Covid was a horrible time, vets were retiring, other vets were overwhelmed with patients, people were adopting pets left and right and needing wellness checks, emergencies or priority patients waited hours, often having to be dropped off and squeezed into schedules. Now imaging a clinic changing hands in the midst of this time! We have been clients for at least 15 years, they have cared for many dogs here along with a rabbit. From my experience with Clearview during the tail end of all the Covid protocols, which was also around the time the transfer of the business happened, there were some real stumbling blocks. They had visiting vets helping out, since they were understaffed, they were slammed with caseloads and still trying their best to get everyone seen or treated. It wasn't an ideal or perfect time. During this time, we adopted a pup who after 3 days became extremely sick. I called a local Emergency Clinic at 3:30am and they refused to see us and diagnosed the problem over the phone as "just kennel cough". I called Clearview as soon as they opened that morning, they were fully booked but call me if they thought they could squeeze us in. Within a couple hours my pup got worse, I called and updated them what was happening. They had me take her in at that point and drop her off. Within a matter of hours requiring x-rays and major exams, we received word what was happening. She had aspirated pneumonia, (ME) Megaesophagus and a parasite. When I picked her up, they were so kind, they took the time to assure me that she could still have a good quality of life, but it would be different. They taught me how I needed to feed her, how many times to feed her and how to keep her in the upright position after feeding. This was a lot for a new owner to take in. After many follow ups and months later, I started questioning if that was the right diagnosis. They set aside any egos and gave me a referral to a specialist in Lynnwood to double check. The specialist was actually very shocked; after reviewing all the records, they would have absolutely given us the same diagnosis, but sure enough they were not seeing ME any longer. This is not a condition that dogs "grow out of", ME is very rare, but to have a dog who displayed all clinical signs of ME and three months later they couldn't detect it was even more rare. This same dog in the last month I took in because she was licking her paw raw, turns out the floor cleaner I was usings didn't agree with her all of a sudden. Yet during that exam they were now hearing a grade 3-4 heart murmur, this was the first time to have a heart concern. I took her elsewhere to echo her heart. The new vet also affirmed that they heard the same grade of murmur on their exam. Thankfully the echo says differently. This was very long winded to say, the vets at this clinic know what they are doing as affirmed twice by outside sources, in our experience. Things have totally settled down with consistent staff. They all show all 3 of my dogs and myself so much love and care. Their communication is wonderful, I question everything, and they are patient and kind and takes the time to explain without any egos. They still stay busy, but you can get appts in a much timelier fashion and will still squeeze in emergencies or potential emergencies. Yet changes are hard, there are pricing differences, policy changes some maybe be new management, but some may also be the powers of the overseers of vet world. With that said I would still and do highly recommend this clinic. Take the time establish a repour with the vets, I think you will find this clinic is worth it. read more

I am very sorry that Dr. Black sold this clinic as the new owners are not near the standards that my husband & I had enjoyed. Been taking our dogs & cats there for 36+ yrs. The kids that work the front desk are sweet but the vets are trying to nickel & dime every penny out of its clients. I know about pet insurance and see why it is no longer affordable to have pets if you are on a fixed income. We have since taken our pets to Bothell for their needs. I'm sad as the Clearview Animal Hospital is 5 min. from my home. read more

Updated Review: We were going to this vet for years (Dr Adam Black) whom is an amazing vet and unfortunately retired. The new ownership of the vet is awful beyond what words can describe but I'll try to explain. 1: All reviews originating from late 2022 going to the past are old and have been bought buy the new vet and are irrelevant. 2: The new vet seems very money driven and is lacking communication. You can wait days to even a week to get a response. 3: Our poor dog is nearing the end of his life at 9.5 years of age (Great Dane) with mobility issues (unable to transport him to the clinic) and the vet refuses to give him antibiotics for some chronic soars that he gets and has been treated for continuously over the past few years (all info in his file which the vet can see). We even summited photos and asked to have a digital visit from the vet and were denied on all fronts. The worst thing is that they do not have a legitimate reason for denying him medications and recently said it is the vet policy not to give him meds but could not clarify what that policy is other then just a blanket statement of what appears to be "we don't want to do this". We called over a dozen vets and traveling vets and 100% of them said they would be willing to give him the antibiotics given that they would have seen him within the last 12 months (which is the new last that went into place effective in 2023). We meet this criteria here but are simply being refused without a legitimate reason. In conclusion, be warned and do not listen to their false message you get while being on hold which states that people have been taking their pets here for years as this is an entirely new business, a new doctor, and has been open for months not years. You wouldn't go to a new doctor based on a previous doctors reviews so why would you do that for your pet. Looking at other recent reviews, I am not alone in how I feel about this business. read more

The vet appears to be in the business of recommending lots of extra, expensive tests and procedures. On a recent visit with my 13-year-old dog, a Brittany, the vet recommended removing some decayed teeth. To prepare her, because she has a heart murmur, an EKG and chest x-ray would be required to see if she could endure general anesthesia. The vet said that if she were not able to undergo surgery for her teeth, she might need to be put down. Yesterday, I took the dog bird-hunting and her GPS said that she had covered 13 miles. 13 miles!!!! Does that sound like a dog that needs to be put down if a series of expensive procedures cannot be completed? (By the way, she eats her food just fine. When I palpitate her jaws and teeth, she remains chill). What a money grubber! Time to find a different vet! read more

I am a little confused by all the negative reviews for this vet, we have had nothing but great care and service here. My family has always used Clearview animal hospital as our vet, and Doctor Black was awesome, but I also think they new ownership is great as well. We take our two cats and our dog here. The staff has always been very friendly and listened to any of our concerns and answered any questions we've had. I don't feel that they are extremely expensive either compared to other vets in the area. We recently had to take our elderly cat in for dental surgery and Dr. Purdee and the rest of the staff took great care of her, and the price of the surgery was significantly cheaper than what I was expecting. She was also recently diagnosed with kidney disease and they have been very helpful. We've had nothing but positive experiences with this vet, even in tough situations with our animals. The entire staff has always treated us with kindness and have been very responsive with us. read more

Dr. Thomson & the entire staff are the very best of the best! They are the kindest & most compassionate veterinary practitioners I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Dr. Thomson, well... there is just not enough praise I could ever use to describe her! I always leave there KNOWING my Maltese dogs are in EXCELLENT care. Thank you so much for always being there for our dogs & for the entire family! Dana Tiroux read more

Clear view Animal Hospital has gone downhill since Dr. Blacks retirement. Keep in mind this is new ownership in about the last year, and the reviews within that time frame speak for themselves. They are all about money at this point. They don't genuinely care about your pet. The front desk staff and reception entirely lack basic customer service skills and have set a very low standard for themselves and how they treat clients. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. read more

This place has gone down hill ever since Dr. Black retired! The staff is insensitive and rude and they do not care about your pet, just getting paid! They charge for follow-ups after you bring your pet in for an appointment that went unresolved. My puppy was a patient and needed to be neutered. He was seen there just 7 months ago. They wanted to charge me for a pre-op and bloodwork on top of the procedure! It's all about the money! Don't bring your pet here or they will try and rob you too! Do yourself a favor and go find a Vet that cares and is fair! read more

READ THIS BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR DOG OR CAT TO CLEARVIEW ANIMAL HOSPITAL I recently took my Yorkie to the Clearview Animal Hospital for a teeth cleaning. I received a phone call from a vet tech later that morning informing me that my dog will need to have her teeth extracted and that maybe two teeth could be saved. I was told that I could pick her up by 4:00 that afternoon. I was then informed that ALL of her teeth had been extracted. I paid my bill in full ($1256.44) and was given the necessary medication for her. I should have read the invoice a little more closely before leaving the office but was anxious to get my dog home and to keep her comfortable. It was not until the next morning that I took out my invoice from the visit and after examination of it realized that they had made an error in my bill. They had extracted all of my dog's teeth but had also charged me $403.30 for Canine Dental Cleaning! I called and talked to the receptionist and informed her of the error on my bill. She put me on hold to talk to the office manager. When she came back on the line she proceeded to tell me the itemization behind the charges most of which were already written out on the statement and charged for. So you want to double bill me? She put me on hold again and minutes later Megan, the office manager, came to the phone. She proceeded to tell me the exact same thing that the receptionist had. My question was why would you charge me for a canine dental cleaning when you extracted all of my dog's teeth? Megan then offered to send me a new invoice outlining the charges of the Canine Dental Cleaning to justify $403.30. To me, it is unethical and fraudulent to go back and rewrite the invoice to justify your mistake in charging for both dental cleaning and the extractions. I would have liked to speak to the owner but Megan said she would talk to the owner with regards to this issue and would call me back. When Megan called me back she informed me that the owner would not approve the $403.30 refund. I asked Megan, 'Isn't the owner Dr Purdee'? Megan answered, 'Yes, Dr Michaella Purdee is the owner'. Dr Michaella Purdee is the owner and staff member listed on the invoice for all the procedures performed on my dog that day, including the extractions. Why would a licensed veterinarian do a full mouth of tooth extractions on my dog and also charge for a dental cleaning? I would like to know. I WOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE GOING TO THEM. read more

I would never go anywhere else for my pets long term care. Dr. Black is gentle, and compassionate. The staff is always there for me. The morning drop offs are extremely beneficial to last minute issues, as long as you're a current patient. I've put my cat down here and it was the best experience it could have been. read more

Such a wonderful place! I took my one year old dog in for his first visit today. We met with Dr Anderson and she was amazing! Very helpful and informative and I loved how she interacted with my dog. I was not only given suggestions but told how to actually execute those suggestions for my dogs well being. The office is beautiful - a great set up. The vet techs and receptionists were also very kind. I am extremely happy my husband and I decided to switch to Clearview Animal Hospital and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking. read more

THese folks are the best pet caregivers I have ever encounteredr my 50 years or so having and taking care of my pets. My Mini Austrailian got a marrow bone lodged around his lower canine teeth and his chin. No matter what i tried, nothing worked. As it became inflamed, the pain increased. I called around to several vets who either quoted me in the thousands to remove the bone to $800.00. Or they wouldnt even give me an estimate until I brought him in. BANFIELD couldnt give a rip. In fact, they told me they were closing in 29 munutes. I even carried their pet wellness, which by the way is a total scam. Do not purchase it. Well, finally i called Clearview Vetrinary hospital who also were scheduld to close shortly after I called, byt said they would stay open for us. They didnt quote me a figure, but they said it would be affordable. Apon arrival, My dog Roper and i were greated with big smiles and the sraff treared him so gently because they knew the stress he was endurung. We were put in a privare room and immediately an older looking gentalman walked through the door and I knew instantly that he was a wonderful Vet and human being. He took my dog Roper into the surgical room, gave him short acting anastethic then proceeded to cut the bone out with a drummel. Before i knew it Roper was coming too and ended up walking out the door a half hour later, happy as a camper. The whole procedure came to a mere $204.00. And to top it off, he got a complimentery mani-pedi. I highly reccommend these folks, and intend to use them as my new regular Vet. BANFIELD must be able to loose customers because of the exorbitant prices they charge and their rediculous Well Pet Care Plan. You can get pet insurance for a lot l and yhey even cover cancer treartment. I feelna lot better now tgat I have vented. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, ClearviewVetrnary Hospital! Marcie G.

See all

This hospital is incredible under the new ownership of Dr. Purdee! Every time I go there, I am humbled by how kind and competent everyone here is and I feel grateful. From the front staff to the back staff with more certified technicians than I have ever encountered, to Dr. Purdee and her associates, the level of professionalism, knowledge and compassion here is beyond! Thank you so much Clearview for everything you have done for me and my beloved furries : ) read more

I am in awe that we spent so long as our last Vet clinic. After 2 and half years of frustrating visits, we finally came here. It was the best decision ever, Dr. Black is amazing, as Is everyone else working in here. We feel so relieved to have a Vet and team we trust to take care of our fur babies. They are fair priced, honest and communicate effectively. You guys are all very much appreciated and we can't thank you enough. read more

I was a long-time patient/client with Clearview, back when it was owned by Dr. Adam Black. He was the best and I took all of my kitty families to be under his care for over 20 years. Dr. Black retired and under the new ownership of Dr Michaelle Purdee, it has been a disaster! I was not able to even MEET this doctor when my little kitty needed his doctor. I was forced to rely on a drop off and call from a tech. Doctor didn't bother to call until I complained. This cascaded into multiple issues of a misdiagnosis, toxic reaction to an unknown medication, complications and pain for my kitty, fear and anxiety for me....the list goes on. Worst of all, when I tried to contact the doctor for follow up, I was ignored, told to take my issues to her legal people even though she would not supply me any contact information. Her way to deal with this was to 1 - make excuses that she was overwhelmed with workload, 2 - ignore the concerns of a long-standing patient/client, 3 - and finally, send me the client files on each of my kitties, basically telling me to go somewhere else. I was shocked and angry at how I was being treated. I gave this vet months to respond and made multiple attempts to meet for a resolution. I requested a refund for all my trouble as well. Again I was ignored. If you love your animal family, DO NOT go to this place. It is not the same place under the new owner. read more

Do not receive care from this business! They do not have enough staff to take care of the animals they have accepted. They are overbooked and every time your animal is injured or needs care there is a 2 week wait and they tell you to go to another hospital if you need more urgent care. They clearly only care about money taking on more and more animals with out enough staff to actually see them when needed. FIND A BETTER ANIMAL HOSPITAL read more

First time here!!! Such a welcome change to the overpriced vets in Redmond. Great office staff, Dr Anderson is fantastic! Literally the first time I've been told that my dog didn't need a teeth cleaning. So impressed! We'll be back regardless of the drive!!! And...our invoice was HALF of what we usually pay in Redmond. HALF! Absolutely such a great experience! read more

This place has now tried to vaccinate my dog twice when he did not need shots. The receptionists are rude, cold, and unknowledgeable, and both times even argued me about Shots when I had told them the dog was up to date. Will not be returning. read more

Edit: Dr Black called back and as always was so kind and explained to me what the results mean and the care. As explained below the vet care is great but I had a terrible experience with the receptionist. Original: The vets here are great but the receptionists are cold and uncaring. Receptionist Addy called to give me the results on my dogs tumor which we removed two weeks ago - I have been an anxious mess waiting for them. She tells me it's a nerve sheath tumor and when I ask for further clarification she obviously has no idea what that means, just to keep an eye on it. When I get off the phone to google it, it's a form of aggressive cancer and at least the first few websites inform me that a GOOD diagnosis means my dog has up to one year to live. Very poor service, maybe when you're calling an owner to inform them their dog has cancer you should have a vet or someone knowledgeable do that. I called back and she was cold and rude. I've had great experiences with the vets here but that receptionist was unprofessional and rude. You'd think animal people would have a little empathy delivering terrible news to long time clients. read more

Our huge mastiff, Odin suddenly developed a swollen leg and fever. I will spare you the gory details but Dr. Purdee and her team saved his life with their quick and compassionate care and expertise. We owe them so much for saving our big boy. read more

We have been taking our pets to the Clearview Animal Hospital for to many years to count. When we started Dr. Black was in a little building as the only doctor. He is an amazing compassionate man. There are not enough words for us to describe how wonderful he has been to animals and their people. We would not thinking about going an place else! If you have had a problem or complaints there; it must be you. Carol & Don Sack read more

This vet practice is nothing short of amazing. A friend mentioned her experience with Dr Black and I decided to move my old Parsons Terriers over to him as they were not getting the care they deserved at my old vet. When my dog Mango was depressed after his 13 yo friend died, Dr Black missed his lunch and spent the time with Mango to check up on him. This doctor goes above and beyond and truly cares about the animals that come into his practice. They are so busy that at the moment they cannot accept more clients! That should tell you the whole story. Truly amazing service with a doctor who cares. Thank you Dr Black from Mango and London. read more

You can't find more highly trained or friendlier people anywhere. The prices are the best around and both my dog and I are comfortable there. Dr. Black was the first vet my dog didn't take off running from. Given my background working at the WSU vetmed school, explanation of my dog's illnesses, later tumor was at first great for the lay person and then technical when I asked very technical questions. The care received exceeded my expectations (yes, exceeded) and I drive all the way out to Clearview from Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish--where ever I'm living to see Dr. Black or Dr. Anderson for even just a bordetella vaccination. I might add that when I moved out to Bothell from Pullman I was referred to the Clearview Animal Hospital by no less than 5 people. I understand why. read more

This review is way overdue and for Ms. Anderson has been a very understanding and caring vet for my GSD. She seems to understand all dogs and their personality. Appreciate that. Unfortunately we moved out of the area but think of the care she has given our puppy dog though the couple of years we have known her. Our last visit was I believe 2012. read more

Dr. Anderson has every reason to judge my poor puppy parenting but she doesn't! She's been the most comforting voice in this crazy ride raising 2 puppies who are FULL of issues. They trust her and so do I. I couldn't imagine anyone better to help us figure this out. read more

Honestly worst animal hospital. Our yorkie got attacked by neighbors dog. She was bleeding and we brought her in and asked them to look at her. The women replied saying we only have one Veterinarian right now and he only does appointments. The place looked like there literally was no one there for appointments with only our car and a FedEx truck. We left that day with our Yorkie passing away. read more

Yikes! From all of the amazing reviews of this place, I thought I would at least have a more pleasant phone experience with the receptionist, Shiloh. I was just inquiring about a well check for our new puppy and was treated curtly and rudely. What a bummer! :-( read more

Sincerely committed Professionals. I really like this clinic. They undertand the needs of the animals in conjunction to busy people's work needs. They fit the animals quickly as possible and will even hold a pet there - no charge throughout the day until they can see if if no appointment and urgent care was needed. Truly a fine clinic and caring staff. Considerate to people needs and the tough decisons that have too be made when owning pets. read more

Wonderful vets, reasonable rates!

I came in for a second opinion, not looking for a different vet. By the time I left I had decided that I would never go anywhere else but here. This clinic is extremely clean, the reception staff is very friendly and can answer any question. Dr. Black is clearly a passionate vet and is in it for a love of animals. My previous vet had told me my cat needed dental cleaning that would cost the upwards of $600. Dr. Black said that he actually doesn't need it at all, and if I had gone through them it would have only cost $300. I am so happy I found this place! read more

The absolute best place to ensure the great health of your best friend. Recently took our dog in for a lump on his throat and was really bracing for the worst and a big bill. Dr. Black did a thorough exam and found that it was a ruptured salivary gland which is not serious if treated in a timely manner. But he went the extra mile and ran did some further testing just make sure. And without sharing the actual cost of the bill all of this cost about the same as a nice dinner out with a glass of wine or 2. The doc also gave me some great training techniques to help curb my dogs aggression towards strangers. The entire staff is also friendly and courteous. Five stars from me! read more

I first went to this vet clinic on the recommendation of a clerk in a feed store who said they had provided excellent end of life care for her dog, who had Cushing's disease. I took my own dog there and they gave her excellent loving care for 7 years, especially as she became blind and very ill with seizures toward the end of her life. Before her blindness and seizures, Dr. Black and team had treated her for knee problems (taking old pins out of her knees), spinal pain, eye abrasions, UTIs, and tooth surgeries. They always treated my girl like their own pet, fawning over her and giving her fantastic care. And the doctors are more than happy to call you at home and have a long, thoughtful discussion with you about difficult care choices. Despite her congenital problems she lived a great life and I'll be forever grateful to this clinic for being a partner in that. read more

Too bad I didn't get pass the rude receptionist to do business with this hospital. I was put on hold for long time and then she just hung up while I was still patiently waiting. To the owners of the hospital, you might consider replace the receptionist to get more business. read more

The staff here from the check in girls to the vets are all awesome. Their prices are totally reasonable. They check back with you and your furry friends.

We have never been this happy with our service and willingly drive 40 minutes to go to Clearview Animal Hospital. read more
